Calling it rogue-like is basically attribution since Brogue is just the follow-up to Rogue which invented the genre

I’ll be sure to keep that in mind with my next plumber platformer

No one calls them plumber platformer though…

If you call it “Mario-like” then I would say most people would understand where the inspiration comes from.

most people would name hack (1984) or the fork nethack (1987) as the successor to rogue (1980). brogue (2018) i never heard of till now but probably i aged out by then (aged out of spending many mindless i.e. repetitive hours of fun)

Brogue was released in 2009 for what it’s worth.
